FEELS LIKE
A JACKPOT

In today’s go-go-go world, everyone’s got a couple go-to recipes.
But what if you had a hundred or more? And your taste buds were
never bored? Imagine making full meals in minutes, in the same pot.
Or perfectly poached eggs at the touch of a button. Or takeout favorites
right at home. Now, stop imagining it and start cooking—thanks to the
Ninja Cooking System with Auto-iQ™ Recipes, you win big at breakfast,
lunch and dinner.

All of these recipes are especially designed

These two-step recipes use the Auto-iQ
Cooking System as a stovetop to sear proteins
and build layers of flavor before cooking
to perfection.

Worry-free ACCUTEMP temperature control
operates behind the scenes to ensure your
meals aren’t overcooked or underdone, so you
can slow cook with confidence.

With a controllable range of temperatures
from 250°–425°F, you can dry bake hearty
roasts or steam bake breads, cakes, and more.

STOVE TOP

Cook grains such as oats and quinoa
to the perfect consistency with the touch

Use this setting to poach fish, fruit,

or shrimp cocktail for a classic dinner
party appetizer.

Steam veggies for that delightful snap,
or steam light proteins like seafood to play up
their naturally subtle flavors.

An innovative heating element turns your
Cooking System into a skillet so you can sear
meats and sauté vegetables in one pot.

TRICKS OF THE TRADE

Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your Auto-iQ™ Cooking System.

MEASURING MATTERS

Dry and liquid measurements differ, so it’s important to use the right tool for the job.
Here’s a simple breakdown of standard measuring cups for dry and liquid ingredients.

AT THE STORE
Organize your grocery list by the sections
of your grocery store to make shopping a breeze.

Buy pre-cut vegetables when available

DRY
MEASURING CUPS

to cut down on prep time.

LIQUID
MEASURING CUPS

PREPARE YOUR KITCHEN
Have the right tools on hand for prepping

and measuring your ingredients. You will need both
dry and liquid measuring cups (check out the next
page to see why).

Designate a small container on your counter
for trash-like package wrappings, vegetable trimmings,
and used paper towels.

ALWAYS USE GOOD FORM
Familiarize yourself with the recipe

by re-reading the ingredient list and directions.

Gather your ingredients, then measure
and organize them by step.

Always use nonstick-safe utensils to avoid
damaging the cooking pot’s nonstick coating.

Dairy-Free
Vegetarian

Vegan
Paleo

¼

Dry measuring cups are used to measure
dry ingredients (like flour and sugar)
as well as non-pourable wet ingredients
(like peanut butter and sour cream).

Liquid measuring cups
are used to measure liquid
and pourable ingredients.

Meal need to be cooked a little longer?

Simply set to BAKE DRY at 350° F for 5–10 minutes,
checking for desired doneness.

Measuring Tip

Over a bowl, overfill the measuring cup. Then
level the ingredient with a flat edge, like a
butter knife or spatula. This will ensure an exact
measurement and preserve the excess ingredient
for future use.

Adventurous Recipes
Adventurous Recipes let you take a bite on the
wild side. Inspired by restaurant and takeout favorites
from near and far, these recipes pack a ton of flavor
into just one easy-to-follow Auto-iQ recipe.

Measuring Tip

Place the measuring cup on your countertop
before filling it. Once filled, bend down so you
can see the measurement at eye level (looking
at the cup from above will skew your view).

Use dry measuring cups for:

Use liquid measuring cups for:

• Flour

• Cereal

• Water

• Milk

• Granulated white

• Peanut butter

• Oil

• Juice

• Sour cream

• Vinegar

• Stock/broth

TIPS
Crack your eggs first. This helps speed up the
process and gives you more control over those
delicate egg yolks, rather than cracking them right
into the pot.

Mix it up by trying different poaching liquids like white wine, beer, or broth/stock.
• Use a dry white wine, like pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc. Use a 1-to-3 ratio of wine to water.
• Use a light beer, like a lager or ale. Use a 1-to-3 ratio of beer to water.
